PSDFinancier: I don't know if I answered your question. "I'd just be curious to hear why you think the opposite view is the right one." I think amortization is NOT a real expense. This should be emphasized and discussed at the next conference call so it's well understood. Although the accounting should not be changed, the call should recognize earnings are "strong" w/o amortization and would have exceeded analyst expectations. Many market watchers look at earnings as very important. Now, do you think other expenses should also be explained on the CC. For example, could "acquisition related expenses" ($427,000 for all acquisitions in 2016) be noted as a one-time expense for each acquisition. I know that is obvious when the annual report is well understood, but that does have negative appearance on earnings. Again, this number hurts earnings because of acquisitions but when it's explained, this will increase earnings when it disappears after each acquisition. ???
